One
of
the
first
things
which
D'Arnot
accomplished
after
their
arrival
was
to
arrange
to
visit
a
high
official
of
the
police
department
,
an
old
friend
;
and
to
take
Tarzan
with
him
.
Adroitly
D'Arnot
led
the
conversation
from
point
to
point
until
the
policeman
had
explained
to
the
interested
Tarzan
many
of
the
methods
in
vogue
for
apprehending
and
identifying
criminals
.
Not
the
least
interesting
to
Tarzan
was
the
part
played
by
finger
prints
in
this
fascinating
science
.
"
But
of
what
value
are
these
imprints
,
"
asked
Tarzan
,
"
when
,
after
a
few
years
the
lines
upon
the
fingers
are
entirely
changed
by
the
wearing
out
of
the
old
tissue
and
the
growth
of
new
?
"
"
The
lines
never
change
,
"
replied
the
official
.
"
From
infancy
to
senility
the
fingerprints
of
an
individual
change
only
in
size
,
except
as
injuries
alter
the
loops
and
whorls
.
But
if
imprints
have
been
taken
of
the
thumb
and
four
fingers
of
both
hands
one
must
needs
lose
all
entirely
to
escape
identification
.
"
"
It
is
marvelous
,
"
exclaimed
D'Arnot
.
"
I
wonder
what
the
lines
upon
my
own
fingers
may
resemble
.
"
"
We
can
soon
see
,
"
replied
the
police
officer
,
and
ringing
a
bell
he
summoned
an
assistant
to
whom
he
issued
a
few
directions
.
The
man
left
the
room
,
but
presently
returned
with
a
little
hardwood
box
which
he
placed
on
his
superior
's
desk
.
"
Now
,
"
said
the
officer
,
"
you
shall
have
your
fingerprints
in
a
second
.
"
He
drew
from
the
little
case
a
square
of
plate
glass
,
a
little
tube
of
thick
ink
,
a
rubber
roller
,
and
a
few
snowy
white
cards
.
